Medivation Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2015 Financial Results and Provides 2016 Financial Guidance

February 25, 2016 4:10 PM

SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 02/25/16 -- Medivation, Inc. (NASDAQ: MDVN) today reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2015.

"We are delighted with our substantial progress in 2015 on many fronts -- marked by strong worldwide net sales of XTANDI� (enzalutamide) capsules at the Astellas level, which grew 80 percent over 2014, as well as key developments that enhance the clinical understanding of enzalutamide, expand and diversify our late-stage pipeline, and help secure our plans to continue to meet the needs of underserved patient populations," said David Hung, M.D., founder, President and Chief Executive Officer of Medivation.

Dr. Hung added, "In 2015, several promising developments in the enzalutamide clinical development program, including positive results from two Phase 2 trials comparing enzalutamide to bicalutamide in castration-resistant prostate cancer and a Phase 2 trial in advanced triple-negative breast cancer, combined with the expansion of our clinical pipeline with our acquisition of talazoparib, provide Medivation with a platform from which to build a world-class global oncology franchise. We look forward to multiple milestones throughout 2016 as we report on our continued progress."

Key highlights in recent months:

Medivation's non-GAAP collaboration revenue for the fourth quarter of 2015, which excludes collaboration revenue related to upfront and milestone payments, was $202.7 million compared with $133.3 million for the same period in 2014 (+52% vs. prior year) and $695.4 million for the full year 2015 compared with $389.4 million in 2014 (+79% vs. prior year).

Medivation's non-GAAP collaboration revenue consists of two components: a) collaboration revenue related to U.S. XTANDI net sales and b) collaboration revenue related to ex-U.S. XTANDI net sales.

a) Medivation's collaboration revenue related to U.S. net sales of XTANDI for the fourth quarter 2015 was $157.9 million compared with $115.1 million for the same period in 2014 (+37% vs. prior year) and $575.7 million for the full year 2015 compared with $339.9 million for 2014 (+69% vs. prior year).

b) Medivation's collaboration revenue related to ex-U.S. net sales of XTANDI for the fourth quarter 2015 was $44.8 million compared with $18.2 million for the same period in 2014 (+146% vs. prior year) and $119.8 million for the full year 2015 compared with $49.5 million for 2014 (+142% vs. prior year).

Non-GAAP operating expenses were $127.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2015 compared with $109.3 million for the same period in 2014 and $430.0 million for the full year 2015 compared with $334.4 million for 2014.

Non-GAAP research and development (R&D) expenses for the fourth quarter of 2015 were $61.4 million, compared with $44.2 million for the same period in 2014 and $180.6 million for the full year 2015 compared with $134.0 million for 2014. The increase in non-GAAP R&D expenses for the fourth quarter of 2015 relates primarily to an increase in third-party clinical and preclinical development costs due to an increase of activities, which include those related to the acquisition of MDV3800 that was completed during the quarter. The increase in non-GAAP R&D expenses for the full year 2015 also relates primarily to an increase in third-party clinical and preclinical development costs and personnel costs resulting from higher staffing levels and in facilities and information technology costs.

Non-GAAP selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the fourth quarter of 2015 were $65.7 million, compared with $65.1 million for the same period in 2014 and $249.4 million for the full year 2015 compared with $200.4 million for 2014. The slight increase in non-GAAP SG&A expenses for the fourth quarter of 2015 relates primarily to higher administrative costs and royalties, which are partially offset by a decrease in XTANDI collaboration expenses. The increase in non-GAAP SG&A expenses for the full year 2015 relates primarily to higher collaboration expenses, as well as higher administrative and personnel-related costs, and royalties.

Non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2015 was $49.5 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, compared with non-GAAP net income of $18.0 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, for the same period in 2014. Medivation reported non-GAAP net income of $170.0 million, or $1.01 per diluted share, for the full year 2015, compared with non-GAAP net income of $34.6 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, in 2014.

On a GAAP basis, Medivation's collaboration revenue for the fourth quarter of 2015 was $377.7 million compared with $274.7 million for the same period in 2014 (+37% vs. prior year) and $943.3 million for the full year 2015 compared with $710.5 million in 2014 (+33% vs. prior year). Medivation's GAAP-basis collaboration revenue includes upfront and milestone payments for the fourth quarter of 2015 (not included in non-GAAP collaboration revenue), which totaled $175.0 million compared with $141.4 million for the same period in 2014 (+24% vs. prior year) and $247.8 million for the full year 2015 compared with $321.1 million in 2014 (-23% vs. prior year).

Operating expenses were $156.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2015 on a GAAP basis compared with $131.3 million for the same period in 2014 and $528.6 million for the full year 2015 compared with $428.6 million for 2014. Non-cash, stock-based compensation expense included in GAAP-basis operating expenses was $54.9 million in 2015 and $45.1 million in 2014.

R&D expenses for the fourth quarter of 2015 were $94.3 million on a GAAP basis compared with $57.9 million for the same period in 2014 and $232.1 million for the full year 2015 compared with $189.6 million for 2014. R&D expenses for the fourth quarter of 2015 include a $30.0 million non-cash charge related to partial impairment of an intangible in-process R&D asset pidilizumab (MDV9300). In the quarter, the Company determined the MDV9300 antibody does not bind to PD-1 and notified the Food and Drug Administration in January 2016, resulting in a partial clinical hold. In addition, the Company intends to submit an amendment to the Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls, (CMC) section of its investigational new drug (IND) application for MDV9300 to incorporate certain manufacturing changes. These considerations gave rise to a change in clinical trial timelines and other significant inputs to the IPR&D asset valuation, leading to the partial impairment determination. Nevertheless, the Company believes MDV9300's profile and clinical activity may differentiate it favorably among immuno-oncology agents. MDV9300 continues to show promise with activity and positive data observed in hematologic indications, including new data published in the fourth quarter in multiple myeloma. The non-cash impairment charge is excluded from non-GAAP results discussed above.

SG&A expenses for the fourth quarter of 2015 were $62.1 million on a GAAP basis compared with $73.4 million for the same period in 2014 and $296.5 million for the full year 2015 compared with $239.1 million for 2014.

Medivation reported GAAP-basis net income of $142.5 million, or $0.85 per diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2015, compared with GAAP net income of $164.2 million, or $0.98 per diluted share, for the same period in 2014. Medivation reported GAAP net income of $244.7 million, or $1.47 per diluted share, for the full year 2015, compared to a GAAP net income of $276.5 million or $1.71 per diluted share in 2014. The comparison is affected, in part, by lower milestone-related revenue in 2015. As of the end of 2015, all development and sales milestones under the Astellas collaboration have now been earned. Worldwide sales eclipsed two milestone levels of $1.2 billion in the third quarter and $1.6 billion in the fourth quarter.

U.S. net sales of XTANDI, as reported by Astellas Pharma Inc, were $315.9 million for the quarter (+37% vs. prior year) and $1.15 billion for the full year 2015 (+69% vs. prior year). Net sales for the quarter ended December 31, 2015 included an unfavorable adjustment of $2.6 million related to changes in Astellas' estimate of prior period gross-to-net deductions against gross sales and an increase in channel partner inventory of just over one-half week of supply. As seen in previous years, we anticipate U.S. net sales in the first quarter 2016 at the Astellas level may be below the level reported in the fourth quarter 2015, as a result of an expected higher gross-to-net rate (related to Part D coverage gap) and anticipated lower channel partner inventories (estimated at one-half week).

Ex-U.S. net sales of XTANDI, as reported by Astellas, were approximately $231 million for the quarter (approximately +83% vs. prior year) and approximately $757 million for the full year 2015 (nearly doubled vs. prior year). Fluctuating currency exchange rates reduced estimated 2015 ex-U.S. net sales at the Astellas level, as expressed in U.S. dollars, by approximately 10% for the quarter and 14% for the year compared with the comparable 2014 periods.

At December 31, 2015, cash and cash equivalents were $225.9 million, compared with $502.7 million at December 31, 2014. In the second and third quarters of 2015, the Company utilized $259.9 million in cash for the retirement of the convertible notes and, in October, utilized $410.0 million in cash to fund an upfront payment to BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc., for the acquisition of MDV3800.

The Company has provided full-year 2016 financial guidance, as detailed below.

                     ============  ============  ============  ============

(a)  Upfront and milestone payments from Astellas: Upfront and milestone
     payments are excluded from non-GAAP financial measures because they
     occur at irregular intervals and are not related to Medivation's long
     term core business going forward; such exclusion allows for better
     representation of the ongoing economics of the business, facilitates
     period over period comparison and is reflective of how Medivation
     manages its business.
(b)  Stock-based compensation expense: Stock-based compensation expense is
     excluded from non-GAAP financial measures because of the nature of this
     charge, varying available valuation methodologies, subjective
     assumptions and the variety of award types; such exclusion facilitates
     comparison of Medivation's operating results to peer companies.
(c)  Contingent consideration: The effects of contingent consideration
     valuation are excluded from non-GAAP financial measures because of the
     nature of this item, which is related to the change in fair value of
     the liability for contingent consideration related to Medivation's
     License Agreement with CureTech, Inc. for MDV9300 and the acquisition
     of worldwide rights to MDV3800 from BioMarin; such exclusion
     facilitates comparisons of Medivation's operating results to peer
     companies.
(d)  Impairment of intangible asset: The effects of impairment of intangible
     asset are excluded from non-GAAP financial measures because of the
     nature of this item, which is related to impairment of our IPR&D asset
     related to MDV9300; such exclusion facilitates comparisons of
     Medivation's operating results to peer companies.
(e)  Milestone-related payments to third party and other adjustments: These
     payments and adjustments are excluded from non-GAAP financial measures
     because they occur at irregular intervals and are not related to
     Medivation's long term core business going forward; such exclusion
     allows for better representation of the ongoing economics of the
     business, facilitates period over period comparison and is reflective
     of how Medivation manages its business.
(f)  Non-cash interest expense related to the Convertible Notes and
     Revolving Credit Facility: The effects of non-cash interest expense
     related to the Convertible Notes and the Revolving Credit Facility are
     excluded from non-GAAP financial measures because these expenses are
     non-cash expenses; such exclusion facilitates comparison of
     Medivation's cash operating results to peer companies and is reflective
     of how Medivation manages its business.
(g)  Loss on extinguishment of Convertible Notes: The effects of loss on
     extinguishment of Convertible Notes are excluded from non-GAAP
     financial measures because this expense is a non-cash charge; such
     exclusion facilitates comparison of Medivation's cash operating results
     to peer companies and is reflective of how Medivation manages its
     business.
(h)  Income tax adjustments: Adjustments to income tax expense for non-GAAP
     financial measures consist of the income tax effect of the non-GAAP
     adjustments and changes in valuation allowance.
(i)  Interest expense related to Convertible Notes: For the three and twelve
     months ended December 31, 2014 and the twelve months ended December 31,
     2015, interest expense related to the Convertible Notes was included in
     the computation of diluted net income per share for GAAP purposes
     because the effect was dilutive. However, it was excluded from the
     computation of diluted net income per share for non-GAAP purposes
     because the effect was anti-dilutive. For the twelve months ended
     December 31, 2015, cash interest expense, net of tax, of $1.1 million
     is added back to non-GAAP net income for purposes of the non-GAAP
     diluted net income per share calculation.
(j)  Shares used in per share calculation (diluted): In periods in which
     Medivation reports a GAAP or non-GAAP net loss, all common stock
     equivalents are deemed anti-dilutive and basic and diluted shares are
     equal. In periods in which Medivation reports a GAAP or non-GAAP net
     income, the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents related to
     common stock issuable under Medivation's equity incentive plan is
     included in the GAAP and non-GAAP net income per share calculation for
     that period.

     In periods in which Medivation reports GAAP or non-GAAP net income, the
     effect of contingently issuable shares is considered in the calculation
     of diluted net income per share. The Convertible Notes had no effect on
     the diluted net income per share calculation for the three months ended
     December 31, 2015 for both GAAP and non-GAAP purposes because
     Medivation completed the settlement of all of its Convertible Notes
     during the third quarter of 2015. For the twelve months ended December
     31, 2015, Medivation included the effect of approximately 3.9 million
     contingently issuable shares related to the Convertible Notes in the
     diluted net income per share calculation for both GAAP and non-GAAP
     purposes. For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2014,
     Medivation included the effect of approximately 10.1 million
     contingently issuable shares related to the Convertible Notes in the
     diluted net income per share calculation for GAAP purposes. The effect
     of the Convertible Notes is excluded from the diluted net income per
     share calculation for non-GAAP purposes for the three and twelve months
     ended December 31, 2014 because their effect is anti-dilutive.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures To supplement Medivation's financial results presented on a U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, basis, Medivation uses certain non-GAAP financial measures as shown in the tables above. Medivation believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are helpful in understanding Medivation's past financial performance and potential future financial results. These non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures, and they should be read in conjunction with Medivation's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Medivation's management uses these non-GAAP financial measures for planning, budgeting, forecasting and performance measurement, to assess historical operating performance and make financial and operational business decisions, and also to provide forecasts and financial guidance to investors on this basis. In addition, Medivation believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors because it enhances the ability of investors to compare Medivation's financial results period over period and allows for greater transparency with respect to key financial metrics Medivation uses in making operating decisions, and also because Medivation's investors and analysts regularly use them to model or track Medivation's financial performance. Medivation believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with a meaningful understanding of its historical and potential future financial results because they exclude certain non-cash charges such as stock-based compensation which is substantially dependent on changes in the market price of Medivation's common stock and the timing of equity awards, impairment charges, contingent purchase consideration, revenues and expenses that occur at irregular intervals, such as milestone payments earned from collaboration partners and related payments to licensors of technology, and non-cash interest expense, and losses related to Convertible Notes. Investors should note that these non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and do not reflect all of the amounts associated with Medivation's results of operations as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Investors should also note that these non-GAAP financial measures have no standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP and, therefore, have limits in their usefulness to investors. In addition, from time-to-time in the future there may be other items that Medivation may exclude for the purposes of its non-GAAP financial measures; likewise, Medivation may in the future cease to exclude items that Medivation has historically excluded for the purpose of Medivation's non-GAAP financial measures. Medivation's non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable with non-GAAP financial measures provided by other companies.

We disclaim any obligation or undertaking to update, supplement or revise any forward-looking statements contained in this press release.

Enzalutamide Mechanism of Action Enzalutamide is an androgen receptor inhibitor that acts on three different steps in the androgen receptor signaling pathway. In preclinical studies, enzalutamide has been shown to competitively inhibit androgen binding to androgen receptors, and inhibit androgen receptor nuclear translocation and interaction with DNA. The clinical significance of this MOA is unknown.

About XTANDI� (enzalutamide) capsules XTANDI is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Important Safety Information Contraindications XTANDI is not indicated for women and is contraindicated in women who are or may become pregnant. XTANDI can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman.

Warnings and Precautions

Seizure In Study 1, conducted in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) who previously received docetaxel, seizure occurred in 0.9% of XTANDI patients and 0% of placebo patients. In Study 2, conducted in patients with chemotherapy-naive metastatic CRPC, seizure occurred in 0.1% of XTANDI patients and 0.1% of placebo patients. There is no clinical trial experience re- administering XTANDI to patients who experienced a seizure, and limited safety data are available in patients with predisposing factors for seizure. Study 1 excluded the use of concomitant medications that may lower threshold; Study 2 permitted the use of these medications. Because of the risk of seizure associated with XTANDI use, patients should be advised of the risk of engaging in any activity during which sudden loss of consciousness could cause serious harm to themselves or others. Permanently discontinue XTANDI in patients who develop a seizure during treatment.

Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome (PRES) In post approval use, there have been reports of PRES in patients receiving XTANDI. PRES is a neurological disorder which can present with rapidly evolving symptoms including seizure, headache, lethargy, confusion, blindness, and other visual and neurological disturbances, with or without associated hypertension. A diagnosis of PRES requires confirmation by brain imaging, preferably MRI. Discontinue XTANDI in patients who develop PRES.

Adverse Reactions The most common adverse reactions (e 10%) reported from two combined clinical studies that occurred more commonly (e 2% over placebo) in XTANDI patients were asthenia/fatigue, back pain, decreased appetite, constipation, arthralgia, diarrhea, hot flush, upper respiratory tract infection, peripheral edema, dyspnea, musculoskeletal pain, weight decreased, headache, hypertension, and dizziness/vertigo.

In Study 1, Grade 3 and higher adverse reactions were reported among 47% of XTANDI patients and 53% of placebo patients. Discontinuations due to adverse events were reported for 16% of XTANDI patients and 18% of placebo patients. In Study 2, Grade 3-4 adverse reactions were reported in 44% of XTANDI patients and 37% of placebo patients. Discontinuations due to adverse events were reported for 6% of both study groups.

Drug Interactions

Effect of Other Drugs on XTANDI Avoid strong CYP2C8 inhibitors, as they can increase the plasma exposure to XTANDI. If co-administration is necessary, reduce the dose of XTANDI.

Avoid strong CYP3A4 inducers as they can decrease the plasma exposure to XTANDI. If co-administration is necessary, increase the dose of XTANDI.

Effect of XTANDI on Other Drugs Avoid CYP3A4, CYP2C9, and CYP2C19 substrates with a narrow therapeutic index, as XTANDI may decrease the plasma exposures of these drugs. If XTANDI is co-administered with warfarin (CYP2C9 substrate), conduct additional INR monitoring.
